A lovely spot in the heart of the Lake District, Patterdale is a peaceful, unspoilt little village on the shores of Ullswater, the second largest, but to many the most beautiful of all the lakes. If you’re looking for peace and quiet but want to be close enough to enjoy the more bustling centres of Windermere, Keswick and Ambleside this is the place for your cottage holiday. With breathtakingly beautiful scenery on your doorstep, plus great walks, cycling, golf, fishing, boating and easy access to the region’s many attractions Patterdale’s the place.
The little village itself is a quiet haven, to take a tranquil cruise and see the scenery that has inspired writers and poets take a trip on the award-winning Ullswater Steamers based in Glenridding. Walkers can combine a steamer pass with many of the walks in the area, plus you’re at the foot of the mighty Helvellyn. For sailing tuition, canoes and kayaks you’ll find plenty going on at the local sailing centre; heritage lovers head for lovely Dalemain House and gardens and for more adrenalin fuelled family fun check out Rookin House Farm Activity Centre.
